Hi.
I have Windows 11 which came with .NET 4.8 preinstalled. I cannot install .NET 4.5 to be able to load the forked project in visual studio. So I need to update each time a new version appears.

Can you update the assembly to run with .NET 4.8 instead of 4.5 ?

Thanks.

Hi,

I believe it should work. Based on Microsoft doc (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/migration-guide/version-compatibility), it says:
"The .NET Framework 4.5 and later versions are backward-compatible with apps that were built with earlier versions of the .NET Framework. In other words, apps and components built with previous versions will work without modification on the .NET Framework 4.5 and later versions. "

Maybe the link could help ?
Thank you

If I don't have 4.5 installed I cannot load project. Visual Studio brings me a screen to update the project's framework to 4.8, which is installed with OS. So, even if it is compatible, if it is not installed, Visual Studio does not know that it could load it. This means every time when you made an update to project and I sync my fork I have to undo all my modifications to my local branch to be able to pull the new version.
Maybe if you update from 4.5 to 4.8 it will be a better solution.

Thanks.
